SECTION 4B - USER PROGRAMMING
EXAMPLES
Suppose that User number 81 has brought a pager in to be repaired. In the
meantime we need to substitute a pager. The new pager is the same type;
only the capcode is different - it is 2000123.
From the User Programming Menu we type:
C
Starting Capcode? 2000123
assigned to User 81 through User (CR)
Suppose we are given 10 pagers and asked to program them into the terminal.
Each person carrying a pager wants to receive 3 different beep alert
functions. They are all alphanumeric POCSAG type pagers that receive data
at 512 bps (standard rate) and are capcode numbered consecutively 0000125
up to 0000134. In addition, one of the subscribers needs priority paging.
We have decided to limit their message size to 300 characters.
As a first step, we need a Paging Format that they all can use. From the
System Programming Menu we proceed:
F
Format number (0-7, CR to exit) ? 1
Format type (0-7)
0
Max msg length ( 0 - 500 ) 300
Baud: (0) 512 (1) 1200 0
We picked Format number 1 arbitrarily; perhaps it was not yet assigned in
our system.
Now we return to the User Programming Menu to continue:
Since each pager needs to receive 3 function codes we approach the problem
by assigning 3 User numbers to each pager.
C
Starting Capcode? 125
assigned to User 10 through 19
C
Starting Capcode? 125
assigned to User 20 through 29
C
Starting Capcode? 125
assigned to User 30 through 39
U
Function (0-9)? 1
assigned to User 10 through 19
U
Function (0-9)? 2
assigned to User 20 through 29
U
Function (0-9)? 3
assigned to User 30 through 39
